My heart is with you / Rita Sittig I know how hard this has been for your family. We lost Chris 8 days after his 37th birthday so today marks 2 years. The pain never seems to go away and we miss him every day. It's hard to understand why or how this could happen to us but it did and now we are left to pick up the pieces. I hope you and your family will remember that Tayler is only a memory away and will always be in your hearts. He sounds like such a special person. Please call me if you ever want to talk.

I know your hurt and my heart aches with you all / Kathy Conrad (angel mom to another ) Please accept my sincerest condolences on the loss of your son. I truly know the pain and the heartache that comes with losing your child and age or reason does not change that pain. I also lost a child, my 20 yr old daughter in 2003 and there isnt a day that goes by that I dont feel that emptiness and heartache. If you should ever need someone to talk to or just someone to listen about your Taylor please let me know. Sometimes a stranger can end up being just what you need. Especially a stranger that is now also walking your path in your new life. God Bless.
My prayers are with you / Connie (sammy's Aunt) To the family of Tayler - I came upon this website as my nephew also has a memorial website. His name is Sammy Pepe and he took his life at the age of 19 on June 21, 2003 - first day of summer. Although he did not suffer from an addiction he suffered from depression for which we knew nothing about until after he died. There were no signs contrary to what people say, however this tribute is for Tayler. My brother was a drug addict for almost 10 years. As a result he now has hepatitis C from dirty needles. I agree that there isin't alot of help out there for this kids that are suffering from addiction. My brother got saved because he had to do 3 years in a penetentiary and thats where he got clean otherwise he would not be here with us today.
I feel for your loss and Tayler was a beautiful young man and my prayers are with you and your family.
To the parents and loved ones of Tayler, I truly want to send my love to you. I mentioned when "i lit a candle", that i have 13 months clean from Heroin, and it truly was and still is the hardest thing I have ever done. I know today i was one of the lucky ones and i do not take it for granted. My best friend died from this disesase in June 2005. That's a big part of why i stay clean everyday. This memorial has truly touched me in so many ways, and i am positive that it has touched your son.
Sincerly, Jessica Perron
Tayler/ Joanne Ford Dear Helen and Roger, What a great way to honor Tayler's memory and work to help others! I hope you have a great day. Thinking of You Joanne Ford
sincere condolences / Phyllis Dowd Dear Parents of Tayler,
I read the article in the Telegram and Gazette with interest and sincere sadness. Unfortunately I can relate to your story. I read the article with tears streaming down my face.
October 11, 1999 I found my son Benjamin in his room not breathing, the result of an overdose of heroin. He had made several attempts to overcome this addiction. We thought he was doing ok when he came home for the weekend from his work on Martha's Vineyard. Our son much like yours was a talented musician.
These days I know too many young people suffering this horrible life long addiction. I do not see much support for those young folks with the exception of the parents. The authorities do not seem to be doing enough to help us reach these kids or to get rid of the dealers. You are right when you say keeping this a secret is not going to help get things done.
I want to tell you how brave I think you both are for sponsoring this open mic in the name of your beloved son, Tayler. He was lucky to have you both as parents.
The grieving does not get less or any easier it just is.
Wishing you all the best,
Phyllis Dowd
A Prayer / Angie Hill I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun Of happy memories that I leave When life is done

Just a note to offer my heartfelt sympathy. I share in your grief. On May 27,2008, my husband and I lost our 34 year old son, Greg. He suffered from addiction to antidepressant meds and alcohol. He was found drowned in a local reservoir. A chunk of our heart died that day as I'm sure yours did the day you lost Tayler. If you ever want to e-mail me, please do. Greg loved hiking, fishing, snowboarding and fourwheeling and had a great sense of humor. I pray that our merciful Lord will introduce our sons to each other. They were(and are in our hearts) great sons. Peace and love to your family.

Thankful for Tayler / Helen Elizabeth Corbeil (Mother)
I struggle finding thanks this year, I miss his warm embrace. Yet gazing at his photographs, a smile adorns my face. So when it's time to give my thanks, The truth I can't ignore. It's memories of Tayler, that I am thankful for.
Believe in Angels / Paula Dussault (aunt)
There's an angel
always by your side.
Whether male or female,
it's there to be your guide.
It rejoices with each sunrise,
the beginning of each day,
knowing that you're safe, indeed,
for in God's hands you stay.
And when the evening comes
and darkness makes its cover,
your angel settles
in the coming night
and above your head it hovers.
Believe in angels-
you have your very own,
because you are God's special child
and you'll never be alone.

My heart broke today / Linda Egan Helen - I just heard about the passing of Tayler. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of this wonderful boy. Although I haven't seen him since he was a teenager, I remember him helping you take care of Karisa when you were her daycare provider. It was so many years ago that we last communicated and it's a tragedy that I had to find you in this way. Karisa is now 14 years old and entering high school. She still remembers Tayler and Katherine and eating the raspberries in your back yard. I will keep all of you in my prayers.Close
